Our bathroom is at the opposite end of our apartment from our bedroom. My boyfriend and I have no signs of bites and were not able to find anything when inspecting the bed.

Apologies for not getting a picture to help ID, but would appreciate any advice. Is it possible we tracked one in and there aren't others?

I live in NYC and have been paranoid about bed bugs because of the recent media attention. I've done my research, but don't know if seeing "one" with no other signs/symptoms is worth pulling the trigger on tearing my apartment apart and spending a ton of money.

Of course, I'm going to say it's hard to say with a drawing. Could be. But in the bathroom, away from your bedrooms? Seems improbably unless it was recently brought in, dropped off someone's clothing or ended up in the hamper with dirty clothes.

Perhaps for you what would work best is some type of monitor that would detect a very early problem.
That's what I would do if I were in that position, and know what I know now.
